I can't believe it

I really can't believe it. It's just all so new to me right now, and I can't believe my son will get all this help.

I made a post last week about my son being evaluated for Long term care Medicaid and the EDCD Waiver in the state of Virginia. Well, he was accepted and received the waivers. I should have the official letters by the end of April at the latest.

Not only does he qualify for up to 45 hours/week of a personal care attendant & 40 hours/month of skilled respite (LPN), he also qualifies for another Medicaid program called EPSDT (Early, Periodic, Screening, Diagnosis, & Treatment), and through this program, he will get private duty nursing for 8 hours/day, 7 days/week.

Oh. My. Goodness. My son will have his very own private nurse that will be with him 8 hours each day, going with him to school, appointments, therapy, wherever he goes, the nurse goes.

I'm speechless, grateful, and amazed right now.

We met with the Director of Nursing for the company that we are going to work with for his private duty nursing and skilled respite. She was very nice and Brady loved her.

OMG! That is so great. I know you were a little worried about how it was going to go. It's so wonderful that it has gone so quickly and he is getting all of this. I bet it is going to be such a huge help to you and it's got to be somewhat of a stress reliever for you.

Oh yes! Huge help to me...all in the nick of time as my husband is going back to sea duty in a few months and he will be gone for a while.
